Mario Kart Wii – Rainbow Road “ultra shortcut” achieved by a player for the first time after nearly 13 years
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Wii | 0 comments
Mario Kart Wii, which is almost 13 years old, has something known as “ultra shortcuts”. The basic idea is that by using a high degree of skill, players can achieve massive lap skips. Doing so can let you finish a lap – or a course entirely – in just a matter of seconds. These special shortcuts involve tricking the game by going out of bounds, driving over “undrivable” terrain, and more.
Rainbow Road has two ultra shortcuts. There’s one in which Lakitu puts players on a specific spot on the track, though it has been accomplished by a number of players. However, there’s a second, trickier shortcut that was only previously completed with tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) software – until now.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game originally scrapped DLC featuring The Clash at Demonhead
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
With Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition making it out today, Bryan Lee O’Malley – creator of the entire franchise – divulged a little secret. It turns out that additional DLC was initially on the table over a decade ago.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game did end up receiving two DLC packs, both of which are included with the new Complete Edition. However, there were talks about making Montreal DLC in which characters from The Clash at Demonhead would have been playable – Envy Adams, Todd Ingram, and Lynette Guycott. What ultimately happened? O’Malley says the DLC was cancelled in the end “because of budget cuts”.
It’s a shame that the idea was shelved, but on the bright side, it’s great that Ubisoft was able to bring the game to new platforms after so many years. You can pick up Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition on the eShop. There’s also a physical release incoming from Limited Run Games.
